Unity is a leading gaming engine used in the development of mobile, console, desktop, and virtual reality games, and it’s major competitor is Epic’s Unreal Engine, which is similarly cross-cross platform and 3D in its gaming design approach. The competition between these two companies continues in the wake of Unity’s significant acquisition of Weta Digital which opens new opportunities for Unity, particularly in film and television and further expansions into XR.

Unity, an industry standard cross-platform game engine company, has purchased Peter Jackson’s revolutionary visual effects company Weta Digital, opening doors for instant upgrades of the company’s software and engineering pool, and pushing Unity’s reach into new areas of digital development. This also has exciting implications for IKIN, whose holographic technology is built on Unity’s engineering interface.
